HP OMEN 880-001nx UPGRADE

[Zakkar]

Hi @ll

I'd like to upgrade my HP OMEN 880-001nx

I will replace the GPU with:

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC

and CPU with:

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x

My Questions are:
Do I need extra cooler for this upgrade and is the PSU enough for this upgrade? And would you recommend another CPU or GPU?

Thanks in adnavnce.

Hi @Zakkar 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

The 880-001nx at this HP Site ships with an Intel MB and a i7-7700K.

An AMD CPU is a no go. The 7700K is the top of the line.

You could look at the Asus Dual 4070 OC. The 4070 is a 10.51 inch 2.5 slot card. Check your PC's case dimensions to verify a good fit. A 2.5 inch slot graphics card may butt up against the power supply (no air flow to the card or competing air flow if the PSU fan draws air from inside the case).

The 4070 should run okay on a 550 watt or better power supply and this card needs one PSU 8 pin PCIe connection.

Your PC has a 500 watt power supply (PSU). You might be able to run the 4070 on the 500 watt PSU. And your PC's PSU is a standard ATX part, so you can upgrade the PSU if the HP 500 watt PSU can't do the job.

Per HP, you now have a dual slot 10.5 inch 1080. And your PC should have an 8 pin PSU connector.

The 4060-TI needs a 450 watt or better PSU.

The 4070 would give you close to 3080 performance but the 7700K might be a bottleneck.

Check this Site for a 4060-Ti vs 4070 comparison.

Hey thanks for your quick answer. I meant the 4060 Ti. I did Tell You accidentialy wrong.

why is AMD Ryzen 7 1800k  a no Go?

I asked chatGPT and he told me Ryzen 7 1800k is Perfect and no Problem. Altough it is way cheaper than the Intel CPU and has nearly exatcly same Performance….

Hi @Zakkar 

My pleasure.

The 4060-Ti will work with your PC. I was suggesting an upgrade to the 4070.

HP specs for your PC, per my previous link, reflect you have an Intel MB with a 7700K CPU.

An AMD processor will not work with your MB.

Hey Dude, the 4070 is twice the Price…I can‘t afford this. But I guess the RTX 4060 Ti is enough, right?

Hi @Zakkar 

The 4070 is much more expensive.

The 4060-Ti is cool. The 4060-Ti 8 GB version may not cut it as time goes by and games demand more VRAM.

You have to work within your budget.

I recently got an AMD 6700 XT at a pretty good price with 12 GBs of VRAM. Not a bad card for the price.

I will buy the RTX 4060 Ti OC with 16 GB…

may you Compare with the RTX 4070 for me?

Hi @Zakkar 

User Benchmark does not have a 4060-Ti 16 GB vs 4070 comparison (or I could not find it).

However, check Tech4gamers for a comparison of both cards.
